Hi,
According to AndroidPolice and other sources (sorry, can't link), Android 4.4.3 is coming.
Will MX Player work on this version or is an update necessary?
Thanks!
Sure, no reason why it should not work. MX Player requires Android 2.1 and above...

I can't add a link because I'm a new user, but there was a relatively long delay (more than a week if I understand correctly) until Android 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 support was added when they were released. Users got a dialog saying "Unsupported android version" and MX Player wouldn't load. Only when MX Player v1.7.21 was released it started working again.
You can Google "mx player unsupported android version" for references.
I just want to know the current version already supports Android 4.4.3 or is it going to show the same error.

Actually that was not a version issue but an incompatibility issue with Android internal module.
MX Player uses many Android private modules to improve playback performance.
Sometimes this private modules changes and then this message will be showed up.
In that case, audio module was changed so the developer has been forced to rewrite entire audio output codes.
That's why there was a delay.
MX Player will be compatible with android 4.4.3 if there is no major changes in Internal Module.
ktsamy is correct. Even if the developer ( @bleu8888 ) were to force compatibility, it could potentially result in no audio at all for example.
In previous versions, most problem was from incompatibility of audio output module.
With the latest version of MX Player, the compatibility was improved. Therefore I hope it works without additional patch.
There is of course no way to say for sure but going by the details that were leaked this will be a minor update and certainly not a big overhaul.
I doubt android devs will have tampered with those modules again since quite a few apps rely on those and it's not worth breaking compatibility again unless they're having to make some major changes.
[WIP] Unsupported Android Version Error on 4.4.3
..so please update the app to support it! Getting the typical "Unsupported android version" message.

Google keeps on changing it's internal modules. That's why we are facing problems. Wait for the update.

Would you send system log using MX log collector after launching MX Player and getting "unsupported.." message?
4.4.3 is not yet available either on my device and Android emulator.
MX Log collector is available on Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.logcollector

I got upgrade myself. Please don't send log.

Definitely does not work in 4.4.3. In fact it is the only app of the 189 that I've opened tonight on my phone that doesn't work in 4.4.3. All 188 other apps at least open.

I've been using BS player whenever a new version of Android comes out and therefore MX stops working.
I can never remember which version of vlc works on my phone.

MX Player relies on lot of android's internal modules for better performance. In the last update there was a change in audio module which was preventing the player from run.
This time it's graphics module which prevents the mx from run.
As I already said, the developer is already working on it. it will be patched as soon as possible.

Trivia question for you: when was the last update to Android that didn't break mx?
The speculation on the old mx support forum whenever there was a new version was that mx would automatically stop working whenever a new version came out - in other words, it was testing version numbers. Is this not true?
Nexus 5
Confirmed.
MX Player not working on Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.3.
Using built-in Video player till updated version is released.
Hi all,
Thanks for creating MXPlayer, really missing it now since it doesn't work on Android 'L'.
On Android 4.4.4 it works as it should.
Anyway, about the bug:
- MXPlayer (Pro) App can start without any problems
- Opening a video with MXPlayer > crash
I have already tried switching between HW/SW, but it doesn't make a different.
Hope it can be solved.
If more (debug) info is needed, please let me know.

@bleu8888 I assume that since MX test build worked on Android L preview, that MX now works on ART?
Sure, it is ART. Actually I did not find any problem so far on using mx on my Nexus 5 with Android L Preview.
Frankly speaking, I cannot feel any improvement with ART because Nexus 5 was fast enough even with Dalvik

Does the new build test support AVI on Android L Preview on Nexus 5?
I have no luck playing AVI files on Android L Preview both from built-in G+ Photos app and MX Player HW+/HW/SW rendering. I wonder whether Android does not natively supports AVI or not.
I'm still using MX Player Pro from Play Store right now on Android L Preview. It runs normal on HW rendering with MP4 x264, but no luck with HW+/SW rendering.
Will try later tonight with the new test build and provide logcat if necessary.
Update:
HW+ and AVI works on the MX Player Pro test build for Android L preview. Yay!
I also found a bug where the system sound was muted, MX Player Pro test build sound still passed through the muted system sound.

Perhaps there's a bug on the L preview and not MX Player?

I think you have totally misunderstood. Android have individual volume controls for different activities. In my knowledge almost all android systems, If you set on mute/vibrate, it will basically mute only all alert tones like System, Notification, Alarm & Ring Volumes. It does not mute media volume. There is no such native global volume control that can block media volume. There are some custom roms like cyanogen mod which can block volume volume keys. But, that will not also work with media volume.
So, It's not a MX Player bug. It's a lack of android feature.
Look at the volume control settings screenshot which is taken while my mobile is set on mute mode.

It's been fine on Alliance ROM since several versions ago - I got it about a week after the S5 came out. Moreover, it's now failing to load.
I uninstalled, reinstalled, and it comes up, plays, but if I press Back during playback, it keeps playing audio. I had to pull the battery to get it to stop.
Now, it exhibits the failure to start. Even after another reboot, still fails.
I downgraded to .29, and I don't have any issues - I've disabled automatic updating so I can at least function in the meantime.
Log attached from when I launched MX Player and it failed to load on latest version.
@MJPByron @bleu8888

Are you using stock rom?
Do you have problem with all videos or only in particular formats?
If it's in some of the videos can you post the media info too?

Nope, the ROM is AllianceROM, but it's basically the stock S5 ROM with the Samsung apps and crap removable by the end-user. It's more or less if you gotta have Touchwiz (I've got a Galaxy Gear, so yeah, that's a requirement) but if you don't want S this, S that, etc.
What would you like to know about the media? I mentioned before it's h264 encoded MKVs and standard AVIs - really old AVIs, like upwards of probably 10ish years old, but I can get more.

These are two of the videos that generated the issues, both with s/w codec.
http://www.filedropper.com/logheps50-centralanimef69a1ec1
1. Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 wifi (SM-T520)
2. Android version: Kitkat 4.4.4
3. Official CyanogenMod 11 nightly 11-20141209
4. When I play some videos and using HW and HW+ decoder, I experience video is out of sync. It looks like there's frame dropping. Problem also exists on my Xperia V with latest CM. I use on both devices custom codecs from this forum. While using SW decoder everything is fine.
Logs are here

Yeah, I was constantly having the same bug on my stock Android 5.01 Nexus 7 2013. HW mode is not even available for most of my high quality mkvs, while in HW+ mode playback is choppy. In the end the solution was painful, but simple: I gave up Mx player pro and returned to bs player pro. Playback is a lot smoother now with HW mode in bs player. After more than a year with mx player I must say it's an extremely overrated piece of software with a non-existant price/performance ratio. While I like a lot it when it works, it has too many annoying bugs to recommend it anymore.

I just checked BS Player (free version) and on my Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 it was just as choppy as MX Player. Maybe there's a bug in CM 11?
Did it previously work on older versions of your ROM? If yes, then it's likely a ROM issue.
@Mihai B mind posting the media info of the problem videos in question? Was this on stock ROM for the 2013 N7?

Yes, I am using stock Android 5.01 ROM with a Nexus 7 2013 WiFi only, 32 GB, rooted with chainfire's autoroot, stock recovery, waited for OTA to arrive, factory reset with clear cache partition after applying the update. Worth mentioning that on KitKat 4.4.4. playback was much more smoother on the same files, with the same settings in MX Player. I only have a few applications, nothing that could conflict with MX Player. Here you will find an example of a file lagging when played. Basically every high quality mkv stutters like hell. If you need a file, I can upload it somewhere.

Is it happens with HW?
If it's so,
Have you tried the same video on Stock Player?
The same should happen with stock player too as HW basically uses android's standard mediaplayer interface.
So, if it stutters on HW, Possibly there might be some issues with in the rom itself.
Have you tried SW decoder?
It might work well since it's based on ffmpeg
HW mode doesn't work at all (mx player says decoder is not supported or something like this), therefore stock player is unable to play it, too. Battery drain is huge with SW mode, what's the purpose of buying applications like MX player that offer accelerated HW decoding then? But just FYI, software mode plays the file flawlessly. The ROM is the purest Android experience one can get right now, so this should not be a problem either. If HW+ mode doesn't work as it should even on stock Android, with developer previews available since months, I don't want to think what will happen with custom ROMs.
We are far away from highly compressed formats like divx, xvid or wmv, high definition content is the present and it seems Mx player with its HW+ decoder can't keep the pace.
I wrote about these problems ever since Android 5 was officially launched a month ago and still no fix was issued.

HW+ uses the same native codecs to decode. Only difference is that H/W uses android media framework and mx player uses its own media framework which itself depends on another android library. So, if any issues on codec configuration will affect both.
MX Player was working well on L preview (except the last one in which google hasn't released the sources).
Do you think your device doesn't has enough power to decode a 720p video natively?. Then, have ever thinked about why your stock player can't play the video?
Just google. MX Payer is not the only product. You will see the very large list of complaints all around the world. You are supposed to blame on Google for the semi baked ROM rather than MX Player.

Thank you for your answer, Ktsamy.
My device is powerful enough to play a 720p video, as in KitKat there were no problems in doing this. I know about the issues mentioned in the link you posted, but they refer to Android 5.0, and as far as I know, this is one of the reasons Google halted 5.0 OTAs, fixed some of the bugs reported by early adopters and then updated most of the devices directly to 5.01. The video issues found in Nexus 7 2013 were supposed to be fixed in 5.01.
So what has to be done? Should we all patiently wait for Google to eventually fix the native android codecs/libraries problems you say they generated in Lollipop? And while we are waiting, applications like MX Player and other similar products are right now useless for the unlucky ones who have Android L installed?
I mean: ok, we do have a problem, but what about everyone (Google, paid app developers) working on a solution instead of blaming each other?

all lollipop devices aren't affected.
Reportedly Google is aware of this issue.
second thing, Since Google is controlling the ROM, app developers can't fix the issue lies on ROM. But, developers can look for temporary workarounds to resolve the issue. But. No guarantee that all bugs will have some workarounds.
Well, stock 5.0 ROM for Nexus devices is fine, so it might just be a recompile or other issue for 5.0.1. @bleu8888 mind taking a look to see if it's just a simple versioning issue with 5.0.1? The updated OTA was released a few days ago for Nexus devices.

CDB-Man, the problem was present on 5.00 as well. I flashed the factory image, posted info about the stuttering in the Android 5 topic, Ktsamy pointed me and others affected by this problem to the same link he provided yesterday. In the mean time Google halted the OTAs for 5.00, fixed some bugs, including the one with the video lag present on the Nexus 7 2013 and directly released OTA 5.01. Unfortunately the stuttering in playing high quality mkvs is still present in MX Player, no matter if the ROM is stock 5.00 or 5.01.

Unfortunately the stuttering in playing high quality mkvs is still present in MX Player, no matter if the ROM is stock 5.00 or 5.01.

If it's fixed it supposed to playable in H/W decoder or by Stock Video Player. But, none of these are working.
Can you do the following?
Long Press the video, Play using H/W decoder. if it says H/W decoder is not supported or automatically switches to S/W, close the playback. Collect the logs & upload here.
BTW, According to leaks Google is planning for another major update to 5.1 in Feb 15 to address the major bugs exists in lollipop

Well, stock 5.0 ROM for Nexus devices is fine, so it might just be a recompile or other issue for 5.0.1. @bleu8888 mind taking a look to see if it's just a simple versioning issue with 5.0.1? The updated OTA was released a few days ago for Nexus devices.

As I have said already, the issue doesn't appear on all nexus devices. Most of the reports are from Nexus 7.
Thanks again, ktsamy, for your help. I was not very sure about how to collect the log, hope it is okay. It said decoder not supported, then switched to sw.
Same here on stock 5.0.1. But the same player is smooth on 4.4.4. So I guess it's Google's problem.
Ktsamy, have you found the time to check the log I have posted a few days ago?
I have an nvidia shield tablet LTE and can confirm HW+ makes video stutter on my device. Was working perfectly prior to the lollipop update. Hope Google, MX Devs or whoever can resolve the issue. Noticed that SW mode is a HUGE battery drain!
I guess it seems that Google really rushed the release of Lollipop.

@Mihai B @isamu99 @kneep
I've tried some high resolution videos on Nexus 7 2013 5.0.1 but can't reproduce this issue.
So it looks not like happening with all videos.
So I've tried download one of files having this issue -- The.Secret.Life.of.Walter.Mitty.2013.BluRay.720p.x264.DTS-HDWinG.mkv -- but it is taking forever.
Would someone send download link or torren file having enough seed?

Are you kidding?
The online subtitle download feature is implemented before 5 months & you are claiming that it was broken from 4 months. As far as I know it was broken from Oct.
Regarding this issue I have already contacted the MX Player Developer. He has already contacted opensubtitles.org team. The issue is from their end. It will be resolved as soon as they fix from their end.

2 video applications with Search headline issue does. Or other applications that read seek headlines and captions know how to download and unzip the zipper. Therefore, I think that is a problem with your application, and if the problem do not go any other application.
I installed on Lollipop, it won't find my purchase and closes. Had to revert to Play Store pro version.

It keeps telling me the neon codec is not installed. When I install the codec from the play store it says its outdated
Is the audio sync feature added.If it is not please add it.
I think I may have solved the problem. I had the last nightly from a while back installed. When the new version couldn't check and closed, after installing the Play Store pro version I then installed this nightly again and it worked.

You might have installed x86 version.
Kindly install the app from first or second link (for Pro)
Both has inbuilt neon codecs.

Can you check it again. Without any updates the subtitle search function has started working again. I have personally checked.
As I posted earlier It was the opensubtitle.org issue. When they fixed it, it automatically started working again.

I installed the first link. That's why its weird. On my other devices it works fine but on one tablet it gives me that error.
On that device (android 4.1) I get that error, on other devices (> 4.1) it is all good. I think Mxplayer is looking for the neon libs in the wrong folder, since in android <=4.1 libs are in a different folder than in newer versions

The location of library files is standard.
Kindly install mx log collector from play store.
Just open mx player.
When you get the error close it.
Immediately open mx log collector.
Save the logs & upload here.
